88 Hello Handsome (2/2)

He reached the door to an office and knocked lightly.

Female voice: ”Come in.”

Handsome man: ”I'm here to see Mr. Chen Wei.”

The women looked up from the file she was reading and felt her mouth go dry. Her mind screamed 'WOW'.

The women cleared her throat to hide her awkwardness: ”Good afternoon. I'm his secretary Mu Qing. Can I ask who you are and why you're looking for Mr. Chen?”

Handsome man: ”I'm Tao Zie. My uncle CEO Tao Da Chun had an appointment with Mr. Chen at 2:30. Unfortunately my uncle had something urgent to attend to and couldn't make it and sent me to meet and apologize to Mr. Chen in his place.” His voice sounded quite androgynous with the occasional feminine undertone.

Mu Qing: ”Mr. Tao I'm afraid that Mr. Chen had an urgent matter and was called away.”

Handsome man sighed: ”Well I guess it can't be helped. I rushed all the way from a business meeting on the other side of the city. I haven't even had a glass of water. My uncle only messaged me 30 minutes ago.”

Mu Qing: ”Why don't you take a seat? I'll get you a glass of water.”

Handsome young man looked into Mu Qing's eyes: ”I don't want you to go out of your way just for me.”

Mu Qing: ”Its not out of my way at all. Its in my way. I mean on my way.”

The handsome young man smiled at her.

Mu Qing: ”I'll be back in a minute.”

Mu Qing quickly left the office to go to the small kitchen next door.

As soon as Mu Qing left the the smile dissipated from Tao Zie's face. He took out two folded documents that were tucked into the back of his chino's. He rounded the desk and took out the official stamp of emerald hospital and two envelopes from the desk drawers.

Tao Zie stamped both documents then put them in envelopes. He placed both the documents in the basket on Mu Qing's desk along with the other outgoing mail.

Tao Zie sat back in the seat opposite Mu Qing's desk and reclined leisurely with a smile on his face.

Mu Qing returned with a cup of tea in her hands. ”I made you a cup of jasmine tea.” She placed the cup on her desk.

Tao Zie picked up cup and took a sip. ”Thank you. That's very kind of you.”

Mu Qing sat in her chair. Tao Zie looked at her whilst sipping his tea.

Mu Qing started blushing. Tao Zie's gaze made her feel exposed.

Tao Zie put the cup of tea on the desk. ”Thank you for the tea. It was delicious.”

Mu Qing stood up and walked Tao Zie to the door.

She sighed dreamily as she watched Tao Zie walk away.

Apartment 5

Li Xiuying removed her black leather gloves and black leather men's boots which contained height increasing insoles.

She put her rucksack on the floor and made her way to her en-suite. Li Xiuying took off her black wavy wig and placed it on the side. She then removed her makeup.

Li Xiuying took off her blazer, navy shirt and black chino's.

She began happily humming to herself as she removed the extra layers of clothing she had worn to pad her torso and legs out.

After Li Xiuiyng removed the weighted vest she stretched out her back.

Li Xiuying finally felt the cool air on her skin.

She finished undressing and stepped into the shower. She let the warm water massage her muscles.

She sang an old song she had heard once. ”Step by step, mile after mile soon I'm going to take away your smile. I may be a distant memory for you now, but to forgive and forget isn't my style. Step by step, mile after mile soon I'm going to take away your smile.”
